This month the messenger planet Mercury turns retrograde in Aries 27° on April 1st until April 25th. When Mercury is retrograde, it can bring about some challenges and disruptions to our daily life. With Mercury retrograde in Aries, you may experience some communication breakdowns or delays in your personal and professional relationships.

The hightlight of this month is a Solar Eclipse in Aries 19° happening on March 8th.

Take this time to reflect on your priorities and make sure you are aligning your actions with your long-term goals.
Since this eclipse is conjunct Chiron, it can bring some emotional wounds related to your career and public image to the surface. Chiron is known as the wounded healer, and its presence in your chart during an eclipse can indicate that you may need to confront some past traumas related to your professional life. This may be a challenging time, but it can also be an opportunity for healing and growth. You may need to reassess your goals and find ways to align your career with your inner values and integrity. You can use this time to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your purpose in the world.
